“Could a child be born bad? And if so – if there really was such a thing as a bad seed – could you turn them good?”
BLURB:
Janie is the last person Hannah and Christopher Bauer want to see again.
But Janie’s moved back to Clarksville. She’s no longer the frail child Hannah and Christopher adopted over eleven years ago. The child who destroyed their lives. Now Janie is out of juvenile detention—a beautiful, confident young adult—and publicly promoting her new tell-all memoir.
At just eighteen, Janie has a violent and tragic story to share, brimming with grisly details. Details the public can’t get enough of…and that the Bauers can’t bear to relive. Janie has taken a new name and claims to have reformed her sociopathic ways. She’s ready to make amends. But when the Bauers refuse to meet with her, she takes matters into her own hands.
After the social worker formerly assigned to the case makes disturbing revelations about Janie’s calculated behavior, the Bauers brace for Janie’s next move, determined to protect their family—at any cost.
MY REVIEW
Well, this is the sequel to The Perfect Child that I never knew I needed and/or wanted! With only a mere 82 pages, Berry skillfully brings the reader right back into the circumstances with the Bauers and Janie. This is intense, it is dark, and it’s mysterious. Not only that, but Berry leaves the ending kind of open-ended. We THINK we know what’s happened, but there is nothing to tell us that it definitely happened that way. Therefore, I need another sequel to the sequel!
If you haven’t read The Perfect Child, read that first, and then read this one!
